Xavier Cortada’s “Keep Cool Miami-Dade” cooling towel is a visual representation of the heat and humidity that defines life in Miami-Dade County. The vibrant sun, with its bold yellow and orange hues, symbolizes the scorching heat that makes it challenging and often dangerous for people to carry out their daily activities. The background’s contrasted, textured blues evoke the importance of hydration, shade, and finding ways to keep cool. This artwork is at the heart of #KeepCoolMiamiDade, a heat safety campaign raising awareness about the consequences of extreme heat while providing practical strategies for individuals to combat the worst effects.

The entire sale amount from the special-edition MISSION cooling towels purchased here will be dedicated to supporting the Xavier Cortada Foundation.
